Council Bluffs is a city in and the county seat of Pottawattamie County, Iowa, United States.[10] A small portion of the city extends into Mills County.[11] Located on the east bank of the Missouri River, it sits across from Omaha, Nebraska. The city had a population of 62,799 at the 2020 census,[12] making it the tenth-most populous city in Iowa and the largest in Southwest Iowa. Council Bluffs is also a principal city in the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area.

Until about 1853, Council Bluffs was known as Kanesville.[13] Kanesville was the historic starting point of the Mormon Trail. Kanesville is also the northernmost anchor town of the other emigrant trails because there was a steam-powered boat which ferried the settlers’ wagons and cattle across the Missouri River.[13] In 1869, the first transcontinental railroad to California was connected to the existing U.S. rail network at Council Bluffs.
